This was a very long bus...

4.00This was a very long bus ride but there were some stops on the way. Andes Mountains were incredible. The lagoon was gorgeous. Our guide and driver were very nice. The guide gave us lots of good information. A nice lunch was provided.
Good scenic tour

5.00Beautiful scenery and a small group tour. Tour guide was difficult to understand and didn’t provide a lot of commentary but scenery made up for it. Lunch snack was good. I selected this tour because we were not interested in a wine tour and it was a good choice. Just a warning that roads are curvy and narrow.

5.00The place is amazing, beautiful landscape! Our tour guide Patricia of Ando Andes was super attentive and kind, passed us a lot of information, we liked our picnic very much, we only found the road tight there, but our driver Angelo was super attentive and mastered the route well.
Amazing scenery and guide! Don’t miss this!

Nature, adventure and mountain range: the best tour to Cajon del Maipo

5.00An amazing experience: fun, dynamic and very well guided. Laura is a total genius; even when a van wheel was punctured, we solved it without losing our spirits, taking the opportunity to have a picnic. All doubts were always answered with a smile. Recommended for those who can walk, are willing to get a little dirty and want to enjoy a lot.
Great Fun and Lots to see!

5.00It was a greatly personal (of 3 pax) day trip hosted by Andres, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and has plenty of stories to tell us. The pace was perfect, slow and absolutely not in a hurry (like some of the other tour groups we saw). We were provided with a delicious sandwich for lunch and later a nice picnic spread of cheese, cured meat, crackers and fruits to go with our wine. Andres is who you'll want to take you on this. The sights were amazing! We enjoyed ourselves very much.
Don't miss this - worth 10 stars 🌟

5.00Would like to put 10 stars if possible, this was an absolutely amazing experience, so well organized and our guide André Riquelme is outstanding! He possesses impressive knowledge of the mountains, their flora and fauna. In addition, André talked about Chile, its history and the present. We learned so much! André is like a living Wilipedia and you can talk to him about everything, film, music 🎶 mm. All in fantastic English! The lunch was generous and delicious and in the end we were surprised by a small luxury picnic with vid and local treats. We can really recommend this excursion and especially year wonderful guide André!

5.00Unbeatable. The excursion and the scenery are already unique and it is exciting to be able to feel surrounded by such a majestic place; this, together with our guide, Andrés, turned our experience into something unforgettable. Very grateful to Andrés for his magnificent attitude, his helpfulness, willingness and passion when it comes to accompanying us and explaining in such a professional and close way the fauna, flora and history of each place we traveled. Highly recommended
